NFL Wild Card: 6 Best Anytime Touchdown Bets for Saturday

Isiah Pacheco (-110)
I never like laying money when taking a touchdown prop, but I'm all over Isiah Pacheco this week, so I'm willing to bite the bullet and back him at -110. I'll also parlay him with the Chiefs' moneyline to maximize value. He only has seven rushing touchdowns on the season, but he's combined for five touchdowns over the past four weeks. I believe the Dolphins will be extremely tired by having a playoff game on a short week, so I imagine the Chiefs will run the ball down the Dolphins' throats in the cold. Two units, let's ride.
Amari Cooper (+160)
Amari Cooper didn't play the season's final two games, but let's look back to our last remembrance of him this regular season. Oh, wait, it just happens to be an 11-catch, 265-yard, and two-touchdown outing against the Texans. What a coincidence! It's not like the Texans revamped their secondary within the past three weeks, so at +160, there is value here for Cooper to find the endzone.
Nico Collins (+130)
Nico Collins has found the endzone in four of the last six weeks and has cemented himself as the top weapon in this Texans’ offense heading into the postseason. I expect this game to be a high-scoring affair, so getting the WR1 at +130 to score a touchdown after combining for 16 catches over the final two weeks of the regular season feels like a good deal to me.
David Njoku (+185)
No tight end in football has been more productive than David Njoku across the past four weeks. He’s averaged seven catches and 93 yards per game while combining for four touchdowns over the stretch, including one against the Texans. At +185, he’s been far too dominant to pass up this value.
Rashee Rice (+150)
Over the past six weeks, I’m convinced Rashee Rice has surpassed Travis Kelce as Patrick Mahomes’s No. 1 target heading into the postseason. He’s averaged 9.5 targets and 86 yards per game over that stretch and found the endzone three times. Although I wish there were more touchdowns to go off of, his red-zone value is there, and I’ll take +150 for who I view as Mahomes’s top receiving option any day of the week.
Tyreek Hill (+135)
Tyreek Hill has found the endzone in 11 of 16 games this season and is making his long-awaited return to Arrowhead as an opponent Saturday night. Hill at +135? Are you kidding me? I feel that this line is juiced due to the freezing weather and lack of trust in Tua, but both things can be negated as Hill knows how to produce in the cold, given his time with the Chiefs, and he still found the endzone last week when Tua was dreadful. At +135, the price is too reasonable to pass up.
